With most of the Expanded Universe declared officially non-canon, the Universe is relatively open and unexplored. Disney publishing along with Lucasarts have announced 20 new stories to fill in some of the details before the new movie is released.

Some love all the extra background material, while others never bothered. Are there any of the EU stories that you felt made for a better setting overall, and why? What might they do better this time around?

    Yeap! Some European Union stories may benefit of a better setting; e.g. Greece's story.

    Well, from the point of story telling, the setting of Greece's story is great. Lots of drama and conflict, surprising twists, definitely not a predictable plot. A top author couldn't have invented it better.

    Of course, as something happening in the real world, it's not so great.
